Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

治愈每一个走过2020-2021的人，再见2021
有幸白嫖了首映，这啥呀这是？幸亏看一半被拉去对表了。
一度想睡觉，怪不得旁边情侣都闲到吵架了。。。
很一般，整体枯燥无味，有些转折很突兀，那俩人在雨中抱着感觉很尬
以前一直觉得贾玲是个美女，没想到这个发型这么出效果。
我更喜欢这次疫情期间的小我描写，我更相信人与人之间体现在细节上的细腻的爱；宏观叙事属实看够了，我也不相信那些。
看完了，哭的眼睛都肿了，脑瓜疼
正面视角，弘扬正气的片子搞这么明显的广告植入看着也是五味杂陈。学诺兰的结构还行，但是也很明显
一分给题材，一分给演员演技。难看到什么程度呢？我前面的男生在座位上打滚说“我好想回去啊！” 剧情离谱情节生硬人物悬浮，还有一些突如其来的煽情和根本不搞笑的笑点，坐立难安的两个钟头。
就是因为觉得这些美好太难存在了，甚至不会发生在我身边，所以感觉弥足珍贵，无比向往。
按照作文的评分来看，《穿越寒冬拥抱你》确实是一部紧扣主题的作文，明里暗里，时时刻刻点题，生怕别人不知道标题是什么。但作为一部跨年电影，确实有些不如人意。
根本没有点触动到我去拥抱身边的人
话说我确实没觉得温暖和治愈，甚至觉得片子时间太长，尤其那个二胎真的莫名其妙
感觉得到原始剧本是想写好故事线的穿插交汇那种叙事型，可惜收尾还是差了好大口气。除了部分穿插的写实场景还算可圈可点，其他的小片段也就两位老演员和中年夫妇的两条线因为演员的内核表现力，算张弛有度又有故事性。难得让我觉得黄渤得向前辈多看齐。
2022.3.14我们依然在寒冬里，留下的眼泪也是因为被疫情偷走了三年，而不是电影本身。
1.2看的。泪点满满，现实题材特别触动人心，就像看豆友说的，导演影片的压迫感拍的一点不含糊。平常人平凡事嘛，但没有太惊喜。特别出演总是要挂掉的，像周冬雨和朱一龙。
这样的题材本已与整体剧情无关，疫情下的人间百态足够触动。有喜怒哀乐、有柴米油盐、有悲欢离合、有生死离别，算不上优秀，但等得起值得～ps:扎刀扎得有点密集
我盲目相信黄渤和贾玲了…但还好是没花钱的电影票！
好多情节也根本无法理解
要不是抗疫主题真的想打一星。煽情也太生硬了，不如直接喂观众吃芥末。
